Bink Video

== Description ==

: '''Bink''' is a proprietary video file format (extension .bik) developed by [[RAD Game Tools]], and primarily used for full-motion video sequences in video games. It has been used in many games for [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[Mac OS]], [[Xbox 360]], [[Xbox]], [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]], [[Wii]], [[PlayStation 3]], [[PlayStation 2]], [[Nintendo DS]], and [[PlayStation Portable|Sony PSP]]. The format includes its own video and audio codecs, supporting resolutions from 320×240 all the way up to high definition video. It is bundled as part of the [[RAD Video Tools]] along with RAD Game Tools' previous video codec, [[Smacker video]]. It is a hybrid [[Discrete cosine transform|block-transform]] and [[Wavelet transform#Wavelet compression|wavelet]] codec capable of using 16 different encoding techniques allowing it to compress any type of video. The codec places emphasis on lower decoding requirements over other video codecs with specific optimizations for the different computer game consoles it supports.

: The format was reverse-engineered by the [[FFmpeg]] project and Bink decoding is supported by the open-source [[libavcodec]] library. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bink_video

== Description ==

AZW, probably standing for Amazon Word, is an eBook format used exclusively on the [[Amazon Kindle]] and compatible Kindle software on PC's or [[iPhone]]s. It is basically the [[MOBI]] format using the high compression option. The AZW extension is used on both eBook files that are protected with [[DRM]] and files that are not protected. http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/AZW

EPUB

2012-10-27T05:14:58Z

Joepie91:

== Description ==

: ePub is an open format defined by the Open eBook Forum of the International Digital Publishing Forum ([[IDPF]]). It is based on [[XHTML]] and [[XML]] along with optional [[CSS]] style sheets. Its predecessor was the [[OEB]] standard.

: Quoted from the IDPF web site:

:: '.epub' is the file extension of an XML format for reflowable digital books and publications. '.epub' is composed of three open standards, the Open Publication Structure (OPS), Open Packaging Format (OPF) and Open Container Format (OCF), produced by the IDPF. '.epub' allows publishers to produce and send a single digital publication file through distribution and offers consumers interoperability between software/hardware for unencrypted reflowable digital books and other publications. The Open eBook Publication Structure or 'OEB', originally produced in 1999, is the precursor to OPS.

: The intent of ePub is to serve both as a source file format and an end user format. For this reason the files are collected into a container for easy dissemination and use. This container is generally a zip file but the extension has been renamed to .epub. It has special requirements by including an uncompressed mime type file while the rest of the data in the file is compressed. An ePub reader should be capable of reading the content in its compressed format. http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/EPUB

== Version 2 ==

[http://www.idpf.org/specs.htm The IDPF specification page] contains the specifications for this format. In particular check the version 2.01 OPS and OPF specifications and the version 1.01 OCF specifications. The informational documents are also quite useful in understanding the standard's intent and content.

=== References ===

* http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/EPUB
* http://www.idpf.org/specs.htm

== Version 3 ==

ePub version 3 is the newest version of the standard and has now been recommended by the idpf standards committee.

In version 2.01 there were three defining documents, the [[OPF]] (Open Packaging Format), the [[OCF]] (Open Container Format), and the [[OPS]] (Open Publications Structure). The OPS referenced a [[DAISY]] standard for the [[NCX]] file. The new 3.0 standard has 4 defining documents with new names. The OPF becomes the [[ePub Publications standard]]. The OCF remains the same and the OPS received the most changes to become the [[ePub Content Documents]]. This now includes the old NCX specifications which are no longer used. A fourth document is concerned with [[Media Overlays]] and is a new feature of ePub version 3. http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/EPub_3

Bink Video

2012-10-27T04:32:20Z

Joepie91:

== Description ==

'''Bink''' is a proprietary video file format (extension .bik) developed by [[RAD Game Tools]], and primarily used for full-motion video sequences in video games. It has been used in many games for [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[Mac OS]], [[Xbox 360]], [[Xbox]], [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]], [[Wii]], [[PlayStation 3]], [[PlayStation 2]], [[Nintendo DS]], and [[PlayStation Portable|Sony PSP]]. The format includes its own video and audio codecs, supporting resolutions from 320×240 all the way up to high definition video. It is bundled as part of the [[RAD Video Tools]] along with RAD Game Tools' previous video codec, [[Smacker video]]. It is a hybrid [[Discrete cosine transform|block-transform]] and [[Wavelet transform#Wavelet compression|wavelet]] codec capable of using 16 different encoding techniques allowing it to compress any type of video. The codec places emphasis on lower decoding requirements over other video codecs with specific optimizations for the different computer game consoles it supports.

== Description ==

ePub is an open format defined by the Open eBook Forum of the International Digital Publishing Forum ([[IDPF]]). It is based on [[XHTML]] and [[XML]] along with optional [[CSS]] style sheets. Its predecessor was the [[OEB]] standard.

Quoted from the IDPF web site:

: '.epub' is the file extension of an XML format for reflowable digital books and publications. '.epub' is composed of three open standards, the Open Publication Structure (OPS), Open Packaging Format (OPF) and Open Container Format (OCF), produced by the IDPF. '.epub' allows publishers to produce and send a single digital publication file through distribution and offers consumers interoperability between software/hardware for unencrypted reflowable digital books and other publications. The Open eBook Publication Structure or 'OEB', originally produced in 1999, is the precursor to OPS.

The intent of ePub is to serve both as a source file format and an end user format. For this reason the files are collected into a container for easy dissemination and use. This container is generally a zip file but the extension has been renamed to .epub. It has special requirements by including an uncompressed mime type file while the rest of the data in the file is compressed. An ePub reader should be capable of reading the content in its compressed format.

== Version 2 ==

[http://www.idpf.org/specs.htm The IDPF specification page] contains the specifications for this format. In particular check the version 2.01 OPS and OPF specifications and the version 1.01 OCF specifications. The informational documents are also quite useful in understanding the standard's intent and content.

=== References ===

* http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/EPUB
* http://www.idpf.org/specs.htm

== Version 3 ==

ePub version 3 is the newest version of the standard and has now been recommended by the idpf standards committee.

In version 2.01 there were three defining documents, the [[OPF]] (Open Packaging Format), the [[OCF]] (Open Container Format), and the [[OPS]] (Open Publications Structure). The OPS referenced a [[DAISY]] standard for the [[NCX]] file. The new 3.0 standard has 4 defining documents with new names. The OPF becomes the [[ePub Publications standard]]. The OCF remains the same and the OPS received the most changes to become the [[ePub Content Documents]]. This now includes the old NCX specifications which are no longer used. A fourth document is concerned with [[Media Overlays]] and is a new feature of ePub version 3.

== Description ==

AZW, probably standing for Amazon Word, is an eBook format used exclusively on the [[Amazon Kindle]] and compatible Kindle software on PC's or [[iPhone]]s. It is basically the [[MOBI]] format using the high compression option. The AZW extension is used on both eBook files that are protected with [[DRM]] and files that are not protected.
